Improve orthopaedic outcomes in your hospital
A two-day hands-on educational workshop for surgical techniques you can offer in clinic
We’re not just selling products, we hold a variety of veterinary orthopaedic workshops and events throughout the year both in the UK and the United States.
View Workshops & EventsWe have a vast range of support material developed to provide you with tips & techniques which will revolutionise your veterinary surgical techniques
View all ResourcesWe'll be running the following full and half day classroom based workshops which can be booked individually or together for a discounted price.
Each workshop is pitched at a level suitable for all veterinary surgeons and general practitioners at every stage of their professional development.
Mon, 02 Aug
Full Day
Includes sawbone sessions and models to take away
Tue, 03 Aug
Full Day
Includes a range of sawbone sessions
Workshops
Each workshop gives participants the chance to carry out procedures on plastic models or cadavers, under the instruction of highly regarded tutors.
MMP is a surgical technique for treatment of lameness caused by failure of the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL).
Named after a human surgeon, Dr. P Maquet, the MMP is a form of TTA and uses a pure titanium foam wedge to advance and fix the tuberosity. The MMP was developed to make Tibial Osteotomy surgery more widely available to surgeons.
Course Agenda
Pathology and diagnosis of cranial cruciate ligament disease
Treatment options for CCL disease and meniscal injury
OrthoFoam™ – the bone ingrowth implant
MMP technique
Key steps of procedure
MMP variations
Difficult cases
Dealing with complications
MMP sawbone practical
MMP cadaver practical (course dependent)
The MMP procedure allows for short surgery time, short convalescence, can be more cost effective and outcomes are similar to those of TPLO*

RidgeStop™ is employed as an adjunct procedure when re-alignment operations such as tibial tuberosity transposition or much less commonly distal femoral ostectomy have been performed.
The aim of the surgery is to make sure that the patellar slides up and down within its groove, without slipping to one side or the other; the cause of discomfort and lameness.
Unlike other procedures for patellar luxation where the joint surface has to be cut, this is a much less traumatic procedure, as well as being more effective.

The SOP™ is a world-leading locking plate fixation system. This system can be thought of as an internal – external fixator and is applicable in a huge array of fracture repairs. SOP™ also serves as a locking spinal fixation system and is available in 2.0mm, 2.7mm and 3.5mm sizes in either steel or titanium.
It’s a hugely versatile system that requires minimal instrumentation and therefore removes the need for expensive investment.
NEW
2021 will also see the introduction of a new low profile SOP™ system which will be incorporated into our workshops. This low profile plate, utilises the same principles of SOP™ technology for the plate and screw interface and was developed for small cases ranging from 2kg to 10kg.
Course Agenda
Fracture and implant biomechanics
Bone healing principles
Assessment of fracture patient
Fracture score
Internal fracture fixation
How to apply non locking plates
Locking plates and screws
How SOP™ differs to existing implant systems
SOP™ biomechanics
SOP™ clinical recommendations
SOP™ sawbone practical
SOP™ cadaver practical (course dependent)
